Lots of updates to report. I'm trying to keep up and stay active on Tiki Central (as promised in my interview with David on the Marooned podcast teased above), but I'm also trying to expand to other platforms and reach as many folks as possible. Which means The Atomic Grog is no longer in the social media dark ages. We now have an Instagram page: If you're looking for me on Facebook, the best place is the Atomic Grog page: Of more immediate interest to those following this thread, I've got quite a few updates in the works for the cocktail guide, including a bunch of new recipes, photos and some ratings changes. I didn't mention it above, but all three cocktails featured in the class at The Hukilau were given a refresh: Also updated: The Big Bamboo, which was featured exclusively for class members on the final day of The Hukilau: http://www.slammie.com/atomicgrog/blog/2012/06/02/mai-kai-cocktail-review-the-big-bamboo-features-big-flavors-unique-history/ All of the above feature new photos and refreshed content. Next up, I'm posting long-awaited new tribute recipes for all the remaining cocktails that feature the resurrected secret mixes (#7 and #4). First up, the Mutiny ...
Besides the new recipes (versions both with and without #7), there are new photos and an expanded history. I posit the theory that the Mutiny was created either for or shortly after the Molokai renovation in 1971 that brought in all the "Mutiny on the Bounty" decor. I lack menus to prove it, but it's not on the 1969 menu and was definitely on there by the mid-'70s. Coming next, a major new recipe update for The Huiilau ... Last but not least, I'm feeding the updated tribute recipes to Swanky for inclusion on the Grogalizer. If you're not a member, now's a good time to get up to speed and rate all the drinks. Not only those discussed here, but nearly the entire Beachbum Berry collection, plus many of the Smuggler's Cove drinks from Martin and Rebecca Cate's book. So far, there are nine tribute recipes in the database, with more to come (note that the Zombie and Mai-Kai Swizzle will be getting updated recipes soon). If you're signed on, you can find all the Atomic Grog drinks by clicking on my name at the top of a recipe, or just go here: It's great to see the Mutiny tribute crack the Top 10, just below Ray Buhen's Puka Punch ... I'm also working on a recap of the "Mix Like The Mai-Kai" class that will feature some of the tips and info from the event. Okole maluna! |
